Options Trades to Consider Based on Expected Earnings
Reports:

Tuesday, November 27

Enterprise cloud companyNutanix
Inc. (NASDAQ:NTNX) will report earnings after the market closes. The
consensus estimate is for a loss of $0.27 per share on revenue of $304.81
million; but the Whisper number is for ($0.24) per share. The company's
guidance was for a loss of $0.28 to $0.26 per share on revenue of $295.00
million to $310.00 million. Consensus estimates are for earnings to decline
year-over-year by 237.50% with revenue increasing by 10.62%.

Management is intentionally eliminating the company's least profitable
hardware revenue as they transition to a higher margin software and
subscription revenue model.

Wall Street's short term focus on quarterly revenue growth is causing
analysts to miss Nutanix's hidden software and subscription growth, its
position as a leader in the enterprise cloud market, and its growing
federal business.

At the beginning of fiscal 2018, Nutanix took action
to remedy the negative effects of maintaining complete control over its
hardware and selling it at zero margins. Starting in the first quarter, Nutanix
allowed legacy hardware manufacturers to sell its branded hardware
directly. This decision eliminated more than 80% of Nutanix's zero-margin pass-through
hardware revenue, resulting in 47% year-over-year growth in software and
support revenue and gross margins improving to 68% versus 63% in fiscal 2017.

According to management's first quarter 2019 guidance, software and support
billings are projected to grow 50% to 55% year-over-year and gross margins are
expected to be 78%, up from 62% a year ago.

Also, demand for hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI)
is surging. A report by International Data Corporation (IDC) measured worldwide
HCI system sales growth of 78% in the second quarter of 2018.....

When To Exit A Trade Based On Earnings?.....

It is also
worth considering, when options trading earnings reports – “Do we exit on already existing
profits or leave the companies to report their earnings and hope for bigger
profit?”

As most
traders realize, there is a 50/50 chance that the company stock price could go
either way after reporting earnings – even if the report is good, the stock
price could reverse – and if you hold a call option, means depletion of an
already good profit if it exists. A similar situation can be found if you hold
a put option, and a report is not that sound (and you expect a profit from
this) but the stock price can, at times move upwards due to traders bias or
other external conditions......READ MORE.....
